Project

Computational studies on the effect of cosolvent addition on the protein folding equilibrium

Profile

Center for Computational Natural Sciences and Bioinformatics at IIIT Hyderabad is looking to hire a junior research fellow in the areas of computational chemistry and computational biology. The project deals with studying the effect of addition of cosolvents such as urea, TMAO, and guanidium chloride on the shifts in the protein folding equilibrium. The candidate will use methods such as molecular dynamics simulations, free energy calculations, and high level quantum mechanical calculations. Based on the qualifications and academic performance, the candidate will have an opportunity to join our PhD program starting December 2017.

Duration

One year and possibility to extend for two more years.

Money

Consolidated amount as per Institute norms.

Qualification

MSc, MTech or BTech

Experience

Prior experience in computational chemistry/biology is preferable but not necessary.

To Apply

To apply, the candidate may send a detailed CV along with three names of referees to devalab@iiit.ac.in. A cover letter describing the academic background and any other relevant details may be attached. Receipt of all applications will be duly acknowledged.
